fame

Verse 1

Flash in my face, I don't look away

They love my name, but forget what to say

Everybody wants a piece of me

They love the story, not the reality

Gold on my neck, but the room feels cold

Another secret that I never told

They want the truth, so I give them a lie

One more smile for the cameras outside

Pre-Chorus

Tell me, what am I worth tonight?

Another headline, another lie

I hear them calling out my name

But they don't know me anyway

Chorus

Fame, put a price on my face

Sell my secrets, take my place

Everybody wants to know

How far I'll go, how low I'll go

Love me now, then tear me down

Make me queen, then lose the crown

I gave them everything to see

Now there's nothing left of me

Verse 2

My name looks good in black and white

A perfect story, a perfect lie

They make me guilty, make me gold

Turn every little secret into something sold

I hear them talking through the walls

They want a scandal, they want it all

I say I'm fine, I play along

They've had my face for far too long

Pre-Chorus

Tell me, what am I worth tonight?

Another headline, another lie

I hear them calling out my name

But they don't know me anyway

Chorus

Fame, put a price on my face

Sell my secrets, take my place

Everybody wants to know

How far I'll go, how low I'll go

Love me now, then tear me down

Make me queen, then lose the crown

I gave them everything to see

Now there's nothing left of me

Bridge

I hate this game, but love the sound

Of a thousand voices when I come around

If I disappear, will they still care?

Or find somebody else to put up there?

Final Chorus

Fame, put a price on my face

Sell my secrets, take my place

Everybody wants to know

How far I'll go, how low I'll go

Love me now, then tear me down

Make me queen, then lose the crown

I gave them everything to see

Now there's nothing left of me
